OT - Good sci fi TV shows?

[SgtBigG]

Does anyone remember the Buck Rogers episode with Buster Crabbe (sp?)? It had one of the best lines in television history. All of the Earth pilots were sick and they recalled the veterans, one of whom was Crabbe. While they prepared for battle Rogers was giving some advice, Crabbe said, "son I've been doing this since before you were born", Rogers made some smart-assed comment like "you think so", to which Crabbe responded, "I know so". Maybe it's just me but I love that.

Yeah, I remember Buster Crabbe being in an episode, but it's been so long since I've seen Buck Rogers I can't recall any of the details. That was a good show until they changed the format in the Last season.

i remember the episode, i didnt realize that was buster crabbe. of course at that time i didnt really pay attention to such details. now that you have pointed that out it makes the scene completely different. at the time i remember thinking he doesnt know buck's real age.

Any news about whether Firefly is going to get picked up by another network?

They played that Buck Rogers epsiode on Sci-Fi this past Monday. It was the episode with Jack Palance as the evil cult leader guy who was responsible for poisoning the Earth's food supply.

Pablo, backing up what you said, I have to agree I always thought the same thing...viewing that comment from the frame of reference of the characters. Having a double-meaning from the actors' perspective makes that comment even funnier.

This is a reply to many of the Posts... Space 1999 is available on dvd on Netflixs (netflixs.com) I've been renting one every now and then, the production quality is great, but the stories tend to lack action. The company that did S1999 also did the UFO series, which is also available on Netflixs.. man what hoot that show is! It's as 'out there' as Austin Powers, only they aren't trying to be funny. Gerry Anderson, that's the guys name that produced the shows, he also did the Thunderbirds, the puppet based Scifi, which had some cool ships, make a good shipset.. The distrubution company was ITV.. they also distributed the Muppet Show. Now about FireFly.. which was my favorite new show..dang it...I looked into it a couple of months ago, they were trying to move over to UPN, which carried his other show.. Buffy T.V.S. There was a petition and a full page ad in Variety bought by fans to thank the cast for a job well done. Don't know if there has been any progress in Last few weeks. Fox was just stupid on this one, they really screwd the pooch....
Thanks for the mention of BBBBBuck Rogers...memories of Erin what's-her-name in spandex...grrrowl baby...yea!!!
Is there a shipset that is made up of a mishmash of famous scifi ships? That would be cool.

have fun kids,
